Mosaic Monday

I hope you all had a good weekend and are eager to start into a whole new week! Here it has been cooler lately then I would like but the garden is still advancing, soon it will be bursting with color.

So since my garden is still in the not so pretty phase I am sharing a wee bit more southern beauty. The mosaic above is made from photos I took at Middleton Place and Magnolia Plantation and Gardens,two beautiful places to visit just outside the city of Charleston South Carolina.

The mosaic above was taken in the Charleston garden that Made me think of the Secret Garden movie. You can click on to enlarge if you are interested. It is a beautiful garden but my photos don't really do it justice.

After the house and garden tour there was a lovely lunch served on this beautiful veranda. The members of the garden club made the lovely bouquets and lunch. It was an afternoon of delights for me!

We are having carpenters for a couple of days and I have a few things going on so I will be gone from my blog for a few days again but hopefully by the end of the week I can show you some of the changes.

I'm so in love with these Southern gardens. I missed going this year so your photos are a real treat. My garden is mostly shady with tall trees so I would love to replicate this atmosphere. Your photos DO do them justice, I'm sure. Have a lovely week and good luck on your projects! :) – g

Hi dear Carolyn, I always love your mosaics! Your photos are so beautiful! The gardens in Charleston are truly gorgeous and look as if they came out of another era… the 'old South!' The pink azaleas and statues are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing the garden that reminded you of the secret garden. It reminds me of it too! Very beautiful and peaceful looking! Is that lovely you in the photo in the bottom corner?

The luncheon looks so lovely. The food yummy and the flowers beautiful! I am so glad you shared more of your trip.

Hi Carolyn,How lush and green everything is in those photos! It must have been so lovely to stroll through such lovely gardens. Can't wait to see your renos! Will miss you at tea. Have a lovely week, dear friend.

I've been trying to leave a comments at your blog and others but blogger wasn't letting me. Yet, today I finally got through!

I've really enjoyed your photos of Charleston. My husband and I visited there about 10 years and you've brought back some great memories. We also visited Magnolia Plantation and saw many of the scenes you've shared on your blog.

Thanks for bringing back memories of a wonderful trip and please share more.
